After some investigation found that the tesla car's autopilot safety system was not sufficient to prevent driver misuse.

There is a feature in Tesla that is called Autosteer, It maintains a set speed or a set distance, detects lane marking and the presence of other vehicles on the road. Tesla comes with this feature but company warns the drivers that 'hands always should remain on the steering wheel and always prepared to take immediate action. Most of the time drivers does not care about this warning due to this NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) first investigated 11 incident involving Tesla's Autosteer in August 2021.

Tesla cooperated and scheduled several meeting with the agency over the last two years. The investigation found that in certain circumstances with Autosteer, the driver does not maintain the responsibilities. After seeing this carelessness Tesla recalling the more than 2 million vehicles in U.S.     According to the reports as of  Dec. 14 tesla has identified 9 warranty claims received between July 13, 2021 and Sep. 17, 2023. These claims may be related to Autosteer issue.                                  

According to the documents those was posted on Wednesday by U.S. safety regulators say that the company will send out a software update to fix the problems. And the software update includes additional controls and alerts to further encourage the driver to their continuous driving responsibilities. The Software update was sent to certain affected vehicles on Tuesday, with the rest getting it at a later date. As per the documents agency investigators met with Tesla starting in Oct. to explain tentative conclusions about the fixing of this monitoring system, but Tesla was not agree with the agency's engineers analysis but now agreed to recall on Dec. 5 in an effort to resolve the investigation.

The recall comes days after the Washington Post published an investigation that found Tesla in Autopilot had repeatedly been involved in deadly crashes on roads where the software was not intended to be used. In a statement this week responding to the Washington post report Tesla said that, it has a moral obligation to continue improving its safety systems, while adding that it's morally indefensible to not make these features available to a wider set of consumers.                                                                    In its recall notice, NHTSA said, Autosteer is designed and intended for use on controlled-access highways when the feature is not operating in conjunction with the Autosteer on city steer feature a more advanced version.
